We are excited to announce that startup nibbles will be relaunching in the middle of February, 2019. We were missing from the action and our sincere apologies for that. A couple of shows that we launched in late 2018 took up a lot more bandwidth than we had anticipated. And frankly, we were not prepared. The exciting news is that in a couple of weeks from now we will be back in a slightly different format and we are also merging the website for this podcast with the main gaathastory.com site.

In today's episode we talk to Mrunal Pandit, FIII; who has written and spoken about the topic of Cyber Risk Insurance for Startups. Given the spate of data breaches in companies over the past few weeks, we thought it was logical to have Mrunal offer her perspectives about it.

We talk about the What,Why, and How of Cyber Risk Insurance coverage including ways to find more information on how much coverage you need, where to get it from.

Mrunal is a Fellow of the Insurance Institute of India and has 15 years' experience in general Insurance. She has been associated with insurance consultants and companies in her career, and was also a consultant for the Ministry of Health, Government of India. You can find more information on her blog, https://mrunalpandit.com .
